LaCie launches Little Disk line and portable DVD+RW drive

LaCie, always known to drop a fresh drive on us during our extreme times of need, has once again stepped up to the plate with a new line of petite storage options aimed at "people on the go" and other likeminded busibodies. The company's new "Little Disk" line was designed by the "award winning" Sam Hecht, and comes in 1.8- or 2.5-inch varieties, ranging from 30GB to 250GB, all with retractable, USB 2.0 connectors. Mr. Hecht also oversaw the creation of LaCie's other small offering, a portable DVD+RW drive with LightScribe technology (allowing you to etch custom labels into discs), that comes in both USB 2.0 and Firewire varieties. The hard drives and optical drives are available now, ranging from $99.99 to $119.99 for the disks, and $99.99 to $149.99 for the DVD writers.

I'm sure they're cool and all, but my first thought was, "Oh great, another cap to lose!"

Cool Form over Function.

Too bad LaCie's track record isn't as cool.

Im getting the 60GB HD, its small and looks beautiful. Way better than the Porsche HD's and about as cool as the Ora-Ïto Lego drives.

Not as cool as the 60GB "Skwarim" HDD if you ask me :-)

ditto on the "another cap to lose" sentiment. but i'm glad to see the combo version with fw ports. (what happens if/when the usb cable gets inadvertently pulled out?)

The DVD+RW is USB-powered or needs external power supply?

I just got the designed by porsche DVD+RW one today. I think it looks better than this boring black one.
oh, BTW, it run perfectly with 1 USB cable (USB-powered)

Nice...All the HDD/CD/DVD kit, to make an IDE device,external needs an adapater, as all the external optical devices that i can get on my country.
This is the perfect accesory for my future Asus EEE Pc
